Culture of distrust and violation of city codes created constant turnover of city staff.
A Santa Clara County civil grand jury report makes clear the devastating impact of the Better Cupertino faction of the City Council had on the city.
Thank goodness Cupertino voters saw the light in November. The election of J.R. Fruen and Sheila Mohan to the council in November gives Mayor Hung Wei a 3-2 majority over Better Cupertino’s remaining councilmembers, Kitty Moore and Liang Chao. The report said Paul asked city staff members to work at events that were not part of official city business and to take on additional work outside of scheduled work hours.
The city has also been plagued by turnover in other key staff positions, including Deputy City Manager Katy Nomura’s departure last fall. The report said high turnover has hurt Cupertino’s ability to recruit qualified staff. No kidding.
